A Wonderful Sting a poem by David P. Leverett

A Wonderful StingDavid P Leverett

This feeling is like a wonderful sting.I want this feeling to hold me captive.I wouldn't give this up, not even for all four seasons to be spring.It doesn't need to be masked as attractive,This unstable beautiful pain is mine, its what I want, what I need!My happiness continually gains,This is great. Something this good cannot be greed!I'm glad to leave them, I found a better lain.This I intend to keep.No one else can have it, its mine!Its mine when I'm awake, its mine when I'm asleep!What's going on. This feeling is no longer a straight line.I'm trapped in this bind, I no longer feel fine,and now, I'm alone without a sign.
